• en:Liberty Fund - quoting Al Gore: "These groups are not providing unbiased judicial education. They are giving multithousand-dollar vacations to federal judges to promote their radical right-wing agenda at the expense of the public interest." However, this particular resource seems fairly neutral, despite the underlying bias. Economics as a discipline has a pretty "libertarian" bias so the funding source may be somewhat moot here.
